Thatâs interesting. If regular payments make the majority of my outgoings, why wouldnât I want them in my comparison reports? I can see some logic for keeping an eye on the ad hoc spending, but I still want to know when Iâm making improvements in my baseline. Maybe some separate cards in the Weekly Report?
@Nod_356s aside from some debt repayments, we wanted to exclude occurring payments because theyâre often the same and occur monthly. We didnât want to skew the reports with unavoidable, fixed spending but rather show you spending that could be avoided.
I think any reoccurring payments should be compared in a monthly reports (if theyâre monthly) rather than in a weekly report
Thanks for the explanation, makes sense. I wonder if looking at comparative cumulative spend in the weekly report helps deal with âlumpinessâ of non recurring expenditures?
We were having a chat during our all hands this week and discussing the possibility to compare Reports and Spend with friends. What do you think? 
Hmmm. Not sure about comparing with friends. Personal money isnât something we generally get into a specific conversation about. If it was based on percentage of budget or percentage of spend that might work. It obscures the specific enough. Youâre also going to have categorisation differences between friends.
Yes, we were thinking merchants related. 
Do you mean like comparing the same week but in the previous month?
Is there a way to feedback where the report doesnât really make sense, like when it says âLinkedIn has not seen you for a weekâ 
?
Technically it has seen me (daily online 
) and this is actually on the subscriptions list.
Kind of.
Week 1 would compare to prior Week 1.
Week 2 would be Week 1 + 2 compared to prior 1 + 2.
Week 3, 1 + 2 + 3 compared to prior 1 + 2 + 3.
And so on. Then if non-subscribed, but regular spending would even out if it skipped one week to another. At work we would call this Year To Date (YTD) or Month To Date (MTD) reporting.
Iâd want the report to shown me some kind of variance explanation. Say, grouped by category or merchant with a toggle.
Weâve started making a couple of changes to the weekly reports 
The first update is that weâve added this new card that shows you a list of cashback brands you might like! 
What new cards would you like to see us working on next?
Your 2020 Yearly Review is now in the app 
And this year, weâre giving away ÂŁ100/ $100 for 10 lucky people who share the report with their friends on social media! Just follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, tag us in your report and use the hashtag #YearInEmma 
Weâll be picking the winners in Jan, so get sharing!
Is there a way to know the absolute numbers for the year (preferably with breakdowns and custom time duration)?
is there a way to access again the 2020 yearly review? It seems not possible to find it in the chat and if I open the link in the email, nothing happens.
Thanks
Hey Grant!
Good point - weâll work on fixing this for next year 
any way you could add total income on that report?
Yeah that could be a nice addition to the yearly report. What about adding to the monthly report too?
Absolutely
